Lyrics
WHAT ARE THE RIGHT WORDS I CAN SAY
TO BRING YOU COMFORT, NUMB YOUR PAIN
CHASE YOUR DEMONS FAR FAR AWAY
WHAT ARE THE RIGHT WORDS
HOW CAN I GET YOU TO LET ME IN
BREAK DOWN YOUR WALLS, ERASE THE SINS
STOP THIS NIGHTMARE YOU'RE LIVING IN
WHAT ARE THE RIGHT WORDS
CAN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, GO BACK IN TIME
TO WHEN WE LAUGHED, WHEN YOU SMILED
WHEN ALL YOU NEEDED WAS A LULLABY
TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
I'LL BRING YOU SUNSHINE TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY
PAINT YOU RAINBOWS TO COLOR YOUR GREY
CALM YOUR MIND WITH WHATEVER IT TAKES
WHAT ARE THE RIGHT WORDS
(the right words, the right words)
CAN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, TRAVEL INSIDE
TO A HAPPIER PLACE IN YOUR LIFE
LET ME FIX YOU WHILE THERE'S STILL TIME
LET ME TRY
MAKE ME THE VICTIM TO SUFFER THE BLAME
MAKE ME THE HERO WHO SAVES YOUR DAY
GIVE ME THE WISDOM SO I CAN SAY
ALL OF THE RIGHT WORDS
THE RIGHT WORDS TO MAKE YOU
STAY...
